The Y-Flyer is extremely fast and responsive due to the planing nature of its hull. The boat is usually raced with two people, but may be sailed single-handed in the lighter air. For just the fun of sailing, in any air, the Y-Flyer has room for several people.

Both adults and children can pull in the sails and enjoy a day on the lake together. So pack your picnic basket and come out to the lake for a day.
